FR Concern

[atomic sagebrush]

Thanks for ALL the info.. He's 28, were 3 years apart me being the oldest.

Then I would at least start off doing abstain with 1 attempt for at least the first month or two. If you don't get pg, you can always change your plan at that point.

Would it be likely that I ovulate on day 14 if my periods jump around every few months?

It depends on the month. If you had a 28 day cycle followed by a 36 day cycle, then you most likely Oed CD 14 during the 28 day cycle, but not during the 36 day cycle.

Everyone's cycle can change at any time, unfortunately. We can't use past cycles to predict future results, which is why OPK can be so valuable.

Suregena - I got my girl BDing for I think 6 days in a row, and one day we dtd twice!

I conceived DS 1 with FR. We had a lot of sex, not trying to conceive, but just having fun.

DS 2 was conceived with abstinence of about 3 weeks. Again, we weren't trying to conceive. We DTD 4 times in that one day, but I'm not sure which time I conceived.

The miscarriage was abstinence of about 3-4 weeks again and DTD twice in 12 hours. We were doing a practice sway so I wasn't anticipating getting pregnant at all.

I think if/when we sway again, we're going to do major FR.

Ugh Now I am so torn. I was going to have DH FR (he's 30) then the day of our attempt I would have him FR that morning, then do our attempt that evening. Now I am wondering if it would be better if he abstained. Advice anyone??

I'm confused right along with you.. Lol. So how often does DH need to release between AF-O? I've never been one to know when I ovulated/ovulate. I never get the side effects for it. I kind of just assumed it was around day 14 so that's when DH and I would DTD the most.

Both are good options and there is probably NO difference between the two.

Ok I feel better that there is no difference.I just want to do whichever is best to lower his sperm count. And he is fine with either one. I think it would like to do the FR better though.

[atomic sagebrush]

I understand wanting to do what's "best" but we just don't know without more information, and it's very likely that when you sway, you sort of level the playing field anyway by doing so many sperm-unfriendly things.

If he would like to do FR better, then I would try FR.
